His life-long interest in mining on the Menominee Iron Range started in his childhood when his father and brothers worked in the mines of the Iron Mountain area. Through their personal generosity and Jim's ability as a fund raiser, the Goulettes have assured that future generations will learn about the history of early mining on the range. , The Menominee Range Historical Foundation pays tribute to the unselfish dedication and leadership of the Goulettes. ,
